World Cup Antigua and Barbuda High Commission, 2nd Floor, 45 Crawford Place, London W1H 4LP 2 High Commissioner’s Christmas and New Year Message Last Christmas, I took the opportunity to speak to you about the importance of remembering the elderly, the poor, and the less fortunate, especially in light of the adverse weather we all faced during the festive season. This year, I would like to move away from focusing only on Christmas/New Year’s and the par- ties and celebrations many of us will participate in, and focus on the reason for the holidays, something which many often forget to consider. Although Christmas now seems to be more associated with Santa Claus and turkey dinners, let us not forget the true reason for the celebrations - the birth of our Lord and Saviour. Similarly, the New Year has become more associated with drink- ing than on reflection of the year past – the blessings we have received - and preparation for the year to come. There are many other such disassociations in the holidays of our Nation. The 1st of May was once celebrated as a day recog- nising the achievements of the labour movement. It has moved to the first Monday in May in some countries while in others it is celebrated on a day later in the year. For example, in the USA, in 1884 the American Federation of Organized Trade and Labor Unions demanded an eight-hour work- day to come into effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in the general strike and the Haymarket Riot of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday so many of us experience today. Unfortunately many other activities have crept into the commemoration of this date. Some of these are exemplary as is the case in Jamaica where, following the clash of Trade Unions in 1972, Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley promoted Labour Day as a showcase for the importance of labour to the development of Jamaica, and a day of voluntary community participation to beneficial projects. Since then, Labour Day has been not only a public holiday but also a day of mass community involvement around the country. In other locations other activities have become so divisive as to detract from the celebration of the labour movement and the unity of the fight for the benefit of the working person. The 1st of August is now known more as a time to dance through the streets in little clothing, than a time to celebrate our emancipation from slavery. The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 ended slavery in the British Empire on the 1st August 1834. This day become the date when all former slaves were emancipated and has since been com- memorated in many countries with much pride. While we celebrate our Carnival in Antigua and Barbuda, let us also include something to remind us of the origins of the event. The freeing of our ancestors from the chains of owner- ship of the slave masters, along with the recognition of those who fought to begin the process towards freedom or rebel against those who opposed their freedom should be uppermost in our minds. Let us remember those like King Court, at this time with programmes on the radio and television. The theme should always be – “Lest we forget”. Slavery comes in many forms and may not always appear in its physical form. The first of November is the day we celebrate the independence of our nation. It means we have become of age and are on our own. Yet the focus of the Food Fair and the Youth Rally seem to take prominence over the prize of the day; that is being masters of our own destiny. Let there be in our hearts a sense of national pride and a will- ingness to do our utmost to make our countrymen and countrywomen stand with pride. “Raise the standard and raise it boldly, answer now to duty’s call, to the service of your country, sparing nothing, giving all. Gird your loins and join the battle against fear, hate and poverty, each endeavouring, all achieving, live in peace where man is free”. At this time of year, I ask you not to forget the reason for the season, or for any of our holidays. I trust that your Christmas was happy and I take this opportunity to wish a Blessed and Prosperous New Year to one and all. 3 Address by His Excellency population of 110 thousand citi- Antigua and Barbuda has received Dr Carl B W Roberts, Am- zens of many racial and religious immigrants from much further th origins living peacefully together afield. bassador at the 100 Ses- makes it the ideal place to experi- sion of the Council of In- ence the warmth of the Caribbean.

The Sea Will Rise, Barbuda Will Survive: Environment and Time Consciousness by Sophia Perdikaris and Katie Rose Hejtmanek • Abstract In this article, we examine the link between environmental consciousnesses and time consciousness. We argue that the way people think about time shapes their experience of climate change threats. We contrast western hegemonic concepts of time—the Gregorian Calendar, the Dooms Day Clock, linear time—with the way Barbudans of Antigua and Barbuda, an island nation in the Caribbean experience time—cyclical, through boom and bust cycles. We found that this boom and bust framework was indeed supported by climate change and weather experiences on the island—hurricanes, droughts, changes in the lagoons—as well as economic experiences—cargo boat delays bringing supplies, paycheck delays. By understanding local explanatory models of time, especially those that contrast to western climate science frameworks of time, better solution-driven work can be achieved in the face of climate change realities.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

It is the most central of the leeward island chain that starts with the Virgin Islands in the West and ends with Dominica in the South (Map1). There are several tiny uninhabited islands surrounding Antigua, Redonda (0.6 sq. miles or 1.6 sq. km) being the largest. The precise coordinates of Antigua is 17o10’ latitude, 61o55’ longitude, Barbuda is 28 miles north of Antigua at latitude 17o35’ and longitude 61o48’. Antigua is roughly round and has an area of 108 sq. miles (280 sq. km) while Barbuda is 62 sq. miles (160 sq. km). Antigua and Barbuda has an estimated exclusive economic zone of 110,071 sq. km. The islands of Antigua and Barbuda are emergent parts of a 3400 sq. km submarine platform. The depth of water between the two islands averages 27.33 m. The coastline of Antigua is indented with numerous islets, creeks, inlets, associated sand bars and wetlands. A large portion of the east, north and south coasts are protected by fringing reefs. The west coast is dominated by a sandy substrate interspersed with fringing reefs in relatively shallow waters. Antigua’s topography can be described as undulating. The highest point in Antigua is Mt Obama (1,319 ft.
